Concept Art

Concept Art is art drawn to give model designers and other people an idea of what to make for a certain game. A concept artist is similar to an architect in the way that they design the house but do not create it. They do it to make life easier for the people who make models and create levels. Without a concept artist, ideas in someones head would rarely turn out the same because the model designer could only have a very vague explanation to go by.

The purpose of concept art is to help everyone have a better understanding of what they are trying to make, this helps the game create an atmosphere and similarity in characters and level designs. It is very hard for someone to visualise what they are trying to create but having a picture in front of them helps dramatically. Concept art is mainly created for characters, environments, weapons and vehicles, as the images below show.
